Our job was to create a magazine cover with a graphic symbol and typography suggesting the words, “black and white”. Even after thresholding and grayscaling the silhouetted photograph in Photoshop, shades of tonal difference between the zebra stripes and InDesign’s black needed to be corrected. To solve this problem, I linked the image to Illustrator in CMYK mode along with the typography, and placed it in InDesign.
